CUFF-LINK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application mea Aseptember 23, 1919.` serial No. 325,741.

To all whom t may concern:

.Be it known that I, JAMES L. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beaumont7 in the county of Jefferson and State of `Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Links, of which the following is a specification.

rlhe object of the invention is to provide a simple and relatively inexpensive cuff link of which the elements are so related that the detachment and loss thereof, or of one of them, by reason of the disconnection of the portions engaging the button holes of the cuff, may be prevented, and at the same time provide a device for the purpose indi cated which may be readily applied to the cuff and which will readily lend itself to any ornamentation or settings which may be desired by the wearer. l

Further objects and advantages will appear in the course of the following description of a preferred embodiment, it being un derstood that changes in form and proportion within theterms of the claim submitted, may be resorted to without departingk from the principles involved.

In the drawings Y Figure l isa view of a cuff link embodying the invention applied in the operative position to a cuff. f

Fig. 2 is a side view of the link showing a cuff in section. y

Essentially the cuff link consists of the head elements 10 and 11 which may be of any suitable form-or configuration to adapt them to lie in contact with the surfaces of the cuff and present the desired ornamental appearance, and from these head elements project` arms l0a and llnwhich are termi-v nally connected flexibly or movably as by a joint l2. f In the construction illustrated the head elements consist ofbars of which the arms form extensions or continuations, said Y -12 and carried by the other head element is a fastener or engaging means 16 which in the constructiony illustrated consists-of a thumb nut swiveled in a bearing in the ele-` ment 1l and interiorly threadedl for engage- `ment with the threaded extremity ofthe stem when the parts of the device are arranged in operative relation with the cuff. v Y

.From the foregoing description it' lwill be obvious that should the connection between the stein which is carried by one head ele-- ment andthe other headV element become loosened, as frequently happens with linked buttons having detachable elements, the disconnection of the parts is prevented by the joint between the arms which extend to the meeting edges of the cuff, said Ifiexible connection being' located at apoint relatively remote from the stem so as not to interfere in any way with the manipulation of the device in applying it to or removing it from the cuff.

What I claim is l A cuff link having head elements provided respectivelywith an arcuate stem-and a revoluble nut for engaging a threaded tremity of the stem, said elements having arms disposed radially of the stem and permanently jointed in concentric relation therewith.` f In testimony whereof I affix Vmy signature.

JAMES L. HALL.
